Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history of sinus surgery and the Doctor found the mold growing inside the sinus which he has cleared it call.
Do not worry, this sort of infestations do not spread into the body, nor does it grow again if you take a proper post-operative care like regular douching with normal saline and medications that your Doctor must have provided you so well.
I hope that your will have regular follow up and this should not recur.
Take care.
